0:00:02 > 0:00:05- It's the nation's favourite antiques experts...- This is beautiful.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06That's the way to do this.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12..with £200 each, a classic car and a goal - to scour for antiques.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Joy!- Hello!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The aim - to make the biggest profit at auction, but it's no mean feat.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20HE LAUGHS
0:00:20 > 0:00:23There'll be worthy winners and valiant losers.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28So, will it be the high road to glory or the slow road to disaster?
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- The handbrake's on! - This is Antiques Road Trip.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Today is the fourth instalment of our road trip with auctioneers
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Anita Manning and Phil Serrell.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Get out of here!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Do you not like being caressed by a beautiful Scottish girl, Philip?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Your knees are irresistible!- I know.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59A lot of people have said that through the years. Nothing else.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Just my knees.- Quite.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Ha!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Anita was knocked off her winning pedestal after
0:01:05 > 0:01:08she blew the budget on the last leg.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12It could have been a lot worse, Phil. Could have been a lot worse.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Now Phil's in front after totting up a series of sizeable
0:01:16 > 0:01:21profits at the last auction, including over £100 on a pub table.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23You've done well. Congratulations.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24SHE LAUGHS
0:01:25 > 0:01:31The trusty 1970s Fiat 500 is their chariot this week.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- I think I'm quite... I'm getting to like this car.- Oh, that's wonderful!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- You mean you're growing into it? - I think it's growing into me.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Our Road Trip pals started off with £200 each.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So far, Anita has had a journey of ups and downs.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51She has £258.30 for the day ahead.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Phil, meanwhile, has found his stride
0:01:55 > 0:02:00and has a rather sizeable £399.40 stuffed in his back pocket.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Anita and Phil are making a monster 1,200-mile tour which
0:02:07 > 0:02:10kicked off in stunning Windermere in the Lake District.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14They will travel around the North of England and dip into Bonnie Scotland
0:02:14 > 0:02:18before heading back south to end in the village of Crooklands in Cumbria.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Today's journey begins in the village of Amble in Northumberland,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28and we will auction in Carlisle in Cumbria.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Hello! What's going on here?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I love this bit of the coastline. It's glorious, isn't it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37The skies are blue, the water's lapping gently on the shore.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Cor, they don't half treat themselves, do they?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Are you getting all romantic? - With you, darling, any time!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- I'm getting back to the car. - Oh, Phil, you spoilsport!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We'll have to keep an eye on you, though.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Anita's playing catch-up now, and nestled here,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58in the village of Amble, is her first shop of the day.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And they love a bit of vintage in here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Hi, I'm Anita.- Hello, Anita. I'm Tony. Very nice to meet you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Oh, it's lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I can see all these wonderful things over here and I can see all these
0:03:14 > 0:03:16wonderful cakes here!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The cakes look delicious, but it's antiques we're after.
0:03:21 > 0:03:28With eagle-eyed precision, Anita finds something. Hey, snazzy shoes!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think this is quite a sweet little thing.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's a little three-legged milking stool,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39but what I like about this is the illustration.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44The Widecombe Fair took place in Dartmoor and it started,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I don't know, early 1800s. And it's still going on today.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53And this little stool might have been sold as a souvenir at the fair.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59And what we have here is this rather naive painting.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- What's that all about? - Well, I'll tell you.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It could have been sold at Widecombe Fair,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09but it certainly is related to the 19th-century ditty of the same
0:04:09 > 0:04:10name, where the
0:04:10 > 0:04:14poor old horse met a sticky end after carrying six people to the fair.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, poor old love!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Anyway, ticket price is £23. Anything else, my dear?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29I think that this has got bags of style.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33It's a table lamp and a little cabinet.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So we're getting away from heavy, clumsy furniture
0:04:37 > 0:04:41into something which had what we call the New Look.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47The New Look began with Christian Dior's Spring collection in 1947.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50It startled the fashion world and resulted in a transformation
0:04:50 > 0:04:54in design within the home and workplace.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's priced at £72.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Now, it says on here that it will need rewiring,
0:05:02 > 0:05:07and items like this do need rewiring and it can be quite costly,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11but I wonder if I might be able to get a deal with Tony
0:05:11 > 0:05:14because it needs this done.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Only one way to find out...
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I thought that this lamp-cabinet affair...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Oh, OK.- ..was very good fun.- Yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's the type of thing that the city slickers
0:05:27 > 0:05:31would like in their 1950s interiors.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I mean, I remember the 1950s...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Surely not, Anita(!)
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Remember, it's priced at £72.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- On the ticket, it tells us that it needs rewired.- Yes.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Is there a drop-dead price that you could sell that for?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Simply because of the rewiring issue?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Do you want to make me an offer?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- An offer that you can't refuse?- Yes!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58THEY LAUGH
0:05:58 > 0:06:04I would be looking to pay maybe round about £40 for it,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- but I don't know if you can come down that far...- Yes, yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- I could come down to probably about £50.- 50?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15How would you feel about that?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I know... I mean, to me, it's certainly worth that,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- but I have to sell it in auction, you know?- Yes, yes, of course.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And it's got that thing on it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Um... How about 45? Would that...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- 45 sounds fine to me. - Is that all right, are you sure?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Yes, that's fine.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Oh, thank you very much! - Good luck with that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33What about the milking stool, then?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36But there was something else that I liked the look of,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40and it was this little novelty milking stool.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Ah, yes.- What's the best that you can do on that?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Well, we've got 23...
0:06:46 > 0:06:51I could do a special price for, what, £12 for that?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Put it there! Lovely. £12, I'm delighted with that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I think that it's just an absolutely fun thing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Good work, Anita.
0:07:01 > 0:07:08The 1950s lamp and cabinet for £45 and the little milking stool for £12.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09That's lovely, thank you very much.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- It's been lovely.- Thank you. - Bye-bye!- Bye.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Phil is easing into this leg. He's journeyed northwards
0:07:21 > 0:07:24to the coastal village of Bamburgh in Northumberland.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31The area boasts one of the largest castles in the country.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Not just a magnificent landmark,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37this castle was once the centre of a revolutionary social movement.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Before the NHS and the welfare state,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Bamburgh Castle played host to a utilitarian society,
0:07:44 > 0:07:49providing health care, education and the country's first lifeboat station.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Phil is meeting with curator Chris Calvert to find out more.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Hi, I'm Philip. - Hi, I'm Chris. How're you?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00You know, I don't know this part of the world,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- but this is just absolutely stunning, isn't it?- Beautiful.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09In 1758, local man and vicar Dr John Sharp became the head
0:08:09 > 0:08:11of the Crew Trust, set up by the owners
0:08:11 > 0:08:13of the castle to manage affairs.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17He was given full control of running the estate
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and, as a great philanthropist, he set about creating
0:08:21 > 0:08:24a much-needed life support for the people of Bamburgh.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- If that a windmill?- It certainly was in its heyday, yes.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31What's a castle doing with a windmill?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35We go back to the Crew Trustees - when they owned the castle,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39John Sharp realised that corn was getting very expensive
0:08:39 > 0:08:43and he got the Crew Trustees to agree to buy in corn
0:08:43 > 0:08:48he could then sell to the poor people - corn at a reasonable cost.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And then from that came the windmills so that they could then
0:08:50 > 0:08:55come up and they could grind their own corn for free in the windmill.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Free education was next on his agenda.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00A local school was set up within the castle,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04teaching children who would have otherwise no access to learning.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08They are the original schoolbooks, yeah, from the 1700s.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12There are two schoolbooks here... Obviously mathematics was very big.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Division and logarithms? - I know, very complicated isn't it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:16So we've got logarithm...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Well, this is all mathematical, really, isn't it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20What else did they teach here?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23They taught reading, as well, and writing.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But they were taught practical skills as well, later on,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28so they were taught sewing and they were taught spinning,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30hence the spinning wheel that we have here.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So it was always an industry for life, wasn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It is, giving them life skills. I mean real life skills.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And I can see, clearly, all our mathematical stuff here,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42we've got the children's chairs and we've got the spinning wheel
0:09:42 > 0:09:46that they worked on, but why have we got a sedan chair here?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Well, it's normally associated with the aristocrats and the gentry
0:09:51 > 0:09:52for getting carried around town in,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55but this one was actually used as an ambulance.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02In 1772, Dr Sharp opened a surgery here,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05providing free medical care and supplies.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07By the end of the decade,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10the surgery was treating over 1,500 patients a year.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17The original surgery and dispensary hasn't survived,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21but Dr John Sharp is still very much present.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The painting embodies everything he did here, really,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26with his plans for the castle, the development of the castle,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28the surgery, the dispensary...
0:10:28 > 0:10:29The poor people there either
0:10:29 > 0:10:31thanking him for the treatment they've received
0:10:31 > 0:10:34or maybe beseeching him to take their children into the school.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And through the window over his shoulder there,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- you can see that there's ship foundering.- Oh, yeah, yeah!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Dr John Sharp was troubled by the shipwrecks
0:10:46 > 0:10:48on the perilous Bamburgh coastline.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Determined to make the seas as safe as possible, he created a pioneering
0:10:52 > 0:10:56coastguard system thought to be the first of its kind in the world.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58So if there was a ship that was in distress...
0:11:00 > 0:11:04..the coastguard, Sharp's coastguard saw it, and I mean
0:11:04 > 0:11:08if it was sinking or whatever, did they help them, or what happened?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Yes, they had a system of signals using these guns here.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14These are actually the guns used.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16And they would signal to the villagers with the smaller gun
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and then had a larger gun that was used to signal to the ships
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- that help was on its way.- And what sort of help would it have been?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Manpower, basically.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26So any sailors that were injured or whatever,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28what would have happened to them?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Well, they were treated here and any sailors that unfortunately drowned,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34their funerals and their coffins
0:11:34 > 0:11:36were paid for by the Crew Trustees here.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Where did all the money come from to fund this?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42He put up a lot of it himself.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46But the Crew Trustees did have quite extensive lands, as well.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The lifeboat station was successfully managed until the 1860s,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54when it was taken over by the RNLI.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Not only did Dr Sharp begin the quest to make our seas safe,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02but he also created a miniature welfare state
0:12:02 > 0:12:05that lasted at Bamburgh for over 100 years.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Chris, it's been absolutely fantastic.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10You'd better show me out, because this place is so big,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I've got to go and find that dreadful little car.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14CHRIS LAUGHS
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Anita's travelled south west to the Northumbrian town of Corbridge.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's here, in the very heart of Hadrian's Wall country,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34that romantic novelist Catherine Cookson lived.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Our very own leading lady is going for a nosy
0:12:37 > 0:12:40in Corbridge Antiques Centre.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Alison is holding the fort here today.- Hello, I'm Anita.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Hello, nice to meet you. - Ah, it's lovely to be here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- And I can't wait to have a look around.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51If there's anything I want to ask you about,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53can I give you a wee shout?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Yeah, of course, I'll just be here. - OK, thank you. Thank you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59With over 30 dealers here,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Anita should be able to snaffle up something.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04We know how she loves to shop.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I absolutely adore this mirror.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's so beautiful.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16It's an Art Nouveau mirror, made probably between 1900-1910.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21We have our geometric feel to it, but, at the same time,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25we have these wonderful, naturalistic inlays
0:13:25 > 0:13:30of perhaps a sandalwood or an exotic wood.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35The whole thing is an absolute harmony and if I had...
0:13:38 > 0:13:43..a four-figure sum, I would definitely go for it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47This is actually a Liberty mirror and it's priced at £1,800.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Shame you've only got a little over 200.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55But I've already seen something that I quite like.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Great!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Down here, it's made of pine
0:13:59 > 0:14:05and it's a little Art Deco doll's three-piece suite.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I think it's quite a nice little thing.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10I think I might ask her about it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15It's been quite simply made,
0:14:15 > 0:14:22maybe by an amateur carpenter or maybe even by an apprentice.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27But it's got that 1930s, 1940s Art Deco look about it,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31which I think's quite charming.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If that was life-sized, I wouldn't mind it myself.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Yeah!
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Me too, Anita.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39And it's a snip at £14.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Is there any movement on that, Ali?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Could do the set for £12.- £12?- Yeah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- I think I might take that.- Yeah? - I think I might take that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54It has a kind of simple, naive look about it,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- but I find that quite charming. - Yeah.- So, £12?- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Thank you very, very much. - Thanks.- Thank you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07£12 secures the little Art Deco-style three-piece suite.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Thank you very much.- Bye-bye!- Bye.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17As for Phil, he's journeyed south to the city of Newcastle.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Phil hasn't started shopping yet - maybe this fair city
0:15:27 > 0:15:29can tempt him with something different
0:15:29 > 0:15:31to his usual rusty offerings. Ha!
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Stand by.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Hello, Philip, how you doing? - Yeah, good to see you. You are?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I'm Giuseppe and this is Fern Avenue Antiques Centre. Welcome.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You've got some stuff, you, haven't you?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So what's cheap, then, Giuseppe, what's cheap?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We've got a pair of canaries up there, so they're double cheap.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah, great, great, great.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Geddit? Hoo-hoo!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03But Phil doesn't want a pair of birds -
0:16:03 > 0:16:04he's got his eye on something else.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Giuseppe, what's that trunk underneath there, how much is that?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Er, we'll get it out.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11It's one of the cleanest ones...
0:16:13 > 0:16:14..that I've ever had.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- All the original address there, come via Dieppe to Newhaven.- Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Unusual to have the key.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31There we go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33PHIL GASPING
0:16:33 > 0:16:34140 quid.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Are you all RIGHT there, Phil?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Undecided on the trunk, he moves on.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- 25, Scottish Masonic. - That's quite nice.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49No great age, how do you know it's Scottish?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Well, because it's shaped like a thistle.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And it's a firing glass.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Right.- So you would drink your toast
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and then it would be... banged on the table.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01And that is why it's got such a thick bottom,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03if you'll pardon the expression.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- That might be a possibility.- OK. - That might well be a possibility.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Masonic items can be very sought-after at auction.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13That could be a good choice, Phil.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- This is a Masonic jewel.- Right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's no big deal, but it's just a nice little Masonic jewel.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's priced at £18.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well, I might be interested, perhaps, if I could...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Do a deal on...?- On the two, yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Both belong to different concessions,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30but I'm sure we could do something.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- That your problem, my friend. - GIUSEPPE LAUGHS
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Not mine.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mmm, charming!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37The Masonic jewel is another possibility,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and Phil's got his eye on another big wooden trunk.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Uh-oh!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45What's that one up there, then? How much is that one?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48That one's cheap and cheerful, 40 quid.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50What?! Can I have a look at it, please?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51You certainly can.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm struggling now.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- I'm being deadly serious, I want you to explain to me...- Yeah?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02..why there is £100 in difference between that one
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and the first one I looked at.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Sometimes you can buy things right. - You bought that right?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I bought that right. - I'll give you 30 quid for it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:1135.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You know those... That little bit of Masonic glass?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- And that little jewel thing? - Yeah.- Could I buy...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- ..the three bits off you for 60 quid?- Which three?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25The glass, the jewel and that trunk.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28No.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32There wasn't an ounce of emotion there, was there?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Just nothing at all.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I'll meet you in the middle. - What's that, 65?- 65.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Giuseppe, you've been as good as gold, mate.- Thank you very much.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41£65 and three, you're a gent.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Thank you.- Thank you. - No problem, best of luck.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Bye-bye, now. - Phil now has two lots.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52£30 for the Masonic firing glass and jewel and £35 for the wooden trunk.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57This signals the end of a very busy day.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02It's time for our weary duo to turn in and get some shut-eye.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Nighty-night.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Anita's in command of the Fiat 500 this fair morning.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Uh-oh.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24One of the joys about this road trip - all road trips -
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- is that you work with your old mates, don't you?- Oh, yeah, I know.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30And those friendships stay true.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Although I do have to say,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35not convinced your driving's got any better!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Get over!
0:19:37 > 0:19:38He's a rascal.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Let's have a refresher on their shopping trip thus far.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Anita has three lots.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53The 1950s standard-lamp and cabinet combo, the milking stool
0:19:53 > 0:19:57and the Art Deco three-piece miniature suite for a doll's house.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01This gives Anita £189.30 for the day ahead.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04As for Phil, he has two lots,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09comprising the two 19th-century Masonic items
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and the wooden trunk.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16He has a rather lovely £334.40 left.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Do you know what?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We have traversed from one side of England to the other side.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- I don't know how that happened. - And where are we now?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Bonnie Scotland!
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Aye!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30That's right, Anita. They've crossed the border
0:20:30 > 0:20:34and Phil is going for a shop in the town of Moffat in Dumfriesshire.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41What will he uncover in here?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Morning, Phil.- Oh, hi.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You've got a bloomin' room full of stuff here, haven't you?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52A wee bit of everything, yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54A wee bit... I love that, "A wee bit of everything!"
0:20:54 > 0:20:55SHE LAUGHS
0:20:55 > 0:20:57And he's off. On the hunt.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You often look at these and think that these are like glass dumbbells,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09but, in fact, at the end of the 19th century, these would have sat
0:21:09 > 0:21:13on the dining table and they're for resting your knife on.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16They're always that shape, sometimes they're silver,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18sometimes they're silver-plated...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21But a lot of them are glass, so next time you see these,
0:21:21 > 0:21:26what they aren't is little glass dumbbells. But they're knife rests.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Glad you cleared that one up, Phil, thank you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31What is he on to now?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I quite like that. That's just a company seal.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40And one of the requirements, if you were an incorporated company,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43was that... I think you had your business articles,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46but you also had THE company seal.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51That's a precursor of a publishing package on a computer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54That's priced at £79, which is a whole load of money.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57But it's a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59That's a possibility, isn't it, you know?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Phil's seeks out the lovely Linda to find out more.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So that... I just thought that was quite nice.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I don't know what on earth you'd ever do with it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13It is nice. I mean, as you say, probably not a lot of practical use.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- No, but I just think it's sort of... - It's very decorative.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Yeah, it is, isn't it?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I think at auction, that might be £40-£60 worth.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23What would be the very best you could do that for?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Bottom line on it, 30.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26OK.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- I think I'd like that.- Certainly.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I think I'd like that, but I'm going to leave it there,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35because there's a couple of other things
0:22:35 > 0:22:36- I want to look at on the way out.- OK.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38He sounds keen.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42And Linda's treating him to a special part of the shop. Ooh-ah!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45If you want to come through here, we'll go upstairs.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- So, Linda, this is sort of the hidden storage area?- It is.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50This is where all the old antiques go to die.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Blimey.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Lord above.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57So this is basically where things just get brought up until...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01either they go out or get sent auction.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I like the ladders, how much are they?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I think we actually use them, dare I say!
0:23:07 > 0:23:08SHE LAUGHS
0:23:08 > 0:23:11This is not a shop, it's a museum! Actually, it is a museum, isn't it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, the floor downstairs, yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So the ladders are definitely not for sale?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think they're definitely still in use.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Do you know, I don't think those confirm to health-and-safety rules. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I think they're dangerous.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29You don't want to be clambering up stuff like that.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I think Linda might see through that, Phil, heh!
0:23:32 > 0:23:36After a snoop about, he's just got one thing on his mind.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I've spoken to my husband, who's the one who uses the ladders,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44and he said depending on what you're prepared to offer,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46he might let you have them.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It'll be 30 quid, something like that.
0:23:51 > 0:23:5230...
0:23:53 > 0:23:5535?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58So if I did 60 for the stamper thing and the ladders,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00how would that grab you?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I suppose we could. Seeing as it's you.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You're an angel. You're an angel, thank you so much.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Success! £30 for the ladders and £30 for the seal press.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Anita has journeyed south to the village of Ecclefechan
0:24:22 > 0:24:24in Dumfries & Galloway.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Anita's in for a real treat, because this rural village
0:24:32 > 0:24:35is birthplace to local legend Thomas Carlyle.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Little-known now, Thomas rose from obscurity to become one
0:24:41 > 0:24:45of the 19th century's most prominent thinkers, rubbing shoulders
0:24:45 > 0:24:49with intellectual giants such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Tennyson.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54As a published author of both history and philosophy,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57he courted admiration from around the world,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00but also attracted controversy,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04as some of his work became associated with slavery and the Nazis.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Anita is meeting with David Heal
0:25:09 > 0:25:12to find out more about this formidable man.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15David, tell me about this place.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Thomas's father and his uncle were the local stonemasons in this
0:25:19 > 0:25:24village and they built this house around about 1794.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26What sort of family were they?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29They were a close-knit family. Father was very hard-working,
0:25:29 > 0:25:35a deeply religious man, and Mother very supportive of the family,
0:25:35 > 0:25:36and particularly Thomas.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42Despite Thomas' humble background, his parents focused on his education.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44After a period of teaching,
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Thomas realised that he wanted to become a writer full-time.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Following a move to London with his wife, Jane, he wrote his first
0:25:52 > 0:25:56major work in 1837 on the history of the French Revolution.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It became THE authority of events
0:25:59 > 0:26:02and put Thomas firmly on the intellectual map.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07So there he was in London, the book was a success,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09what was next for Carlyle?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12That put him on the map as far as the public was concerned
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and for future writings, they were all popular.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19It enabled him, the income coming in, to travel,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24to research the rest of his writings and to improve the family's general
0:26:24 > 0:26:28standard of life, because certainly the first four or five years,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Jane had to be pretty frugal with things
0:26:31 > 0:26:33and control the purse strings.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38This weighty account of the French Revolution wowed Victorian readers.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44They loved Carlyle's revolutionary, dramatic style of writing.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48It also inspired one of the world's greatest works of fiction.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It sounds like a wonderful time.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Of course, Dickens was influenced by Thomas.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Dickens lived fairly close at one point in time
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- and the two families became great friends.- Mm-hm.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02And Charles Dickens and Thomas were
0:27:02 > 0:27:04great friends for the rest of their lives.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08And of course, Dickens, with his Tale Of Two Cities...
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Used Thomas's History Of The French Revolution as his research material.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Thomas went on to publish ground-breaking ideas
0:27:16 > 0:27:18in maths, history and philosophy.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21After studying the impact of great leaders,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25he developed a theory that history is shaped by individuals
0:27:25 > 0:27:30and that true progress can only take place under the control of great man.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35He wrote a book called Heroes And Hero Worship,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37relating to several of these men.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43He felt that these "supermen" really guided history
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and everyone should...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Should take a lead from some of them, certainly.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54As Thomas' fame grew worldwide, so did the controversy surrounding him.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59His ideas at that time didn't always find favour.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00They didn't.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04His first main friend, JS Milne in London,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07fell out with him round about 1840
0:28:07 > 0:28:10because of Thomas's views on slavery,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14that he didn't join the abolitionist cause at all - quite the opposite.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17He really wanted to restore slavery, but in a different form.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22These views, expressed in the years following the abolition of slavery
0:28:22 > 0:28:26throughout the British Empire, would tarnish his reputation.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29But he continued to publish.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32One of his last major works, on Frederick the Great,
0:28:32 > 0:28:36focused on his established ideas of the hero.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40It's said that Hitler was reading a copy of the book in his bunker
0:28:40 > 0:28:42at the end of World War II.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Tell me a little about the latter part of his life.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Well, he was on his travels in 1866 and while he is
0:28:51 > 0:28:55away from home in Edinburgh, Jane unfortunately died
0:28:55 > 0:28:58and that had a very drastic effect on Thomas's health.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It deteriorated to the point
0:29:00 > 0:29:04that he almost became a recluse and he had to be looked after.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Thomas was heartbroken and retired from public life.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Before his death at the age of 85, Thomas was such a revered writer
0:29:13 > 0:29:17and historian that he was offered a burial place at Westminster Abbey.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Thomas being Thomas, however, turned that down.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- LAUGHING:- Always controversial!
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Absolutely.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26He made it perfectly plain he didn't want to be buried in
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Westminster Abbey, he wanted to be buried in Ecclefechan,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30alongside his parents.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34To the very end, Carlyle remained true to his roots
0:29:34 > 0:29:37and although at times a contentious figure, people from all over
0:29:37 > 0:29:42the world continue to visit this humble little cottage in Ecclefechan.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Still in Dumfries & Galloway,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53our pair are heading for the village of New Abbey.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- So we've got one last shop between us, haven't we?- Yes.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- I know what you could buy.- What?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- IN MOCK SCOTS ACCENT: - A nice wee brooch!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Philip!
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The mischief-makers are sharing their last shop of the day.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Bit of a tight squeeze there, Phil!
0:30:10 > 0:30:12After you, my dear.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Ah, thank you, darling! What a gentleman.- After you.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Well, he can be, sometimes.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Anita's visited Admirable Antiques before.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Hello, guys!- Hello!- It's lovely, lovely, lovely to see you!
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I've brought my wee pal along today.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I've brought my wee pal along, as well.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28ANITA LAUGHS
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Phil's got over £270 to play with.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36On the way in, there was a curling stone.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I'm in Scotland, it would be a real shame not to buy something Scottish.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Unfortunately, it didn't look like it's got a handle with it,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45but I'm going to go and have a word with the boss man.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Ian's the man.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- When I came in, you've got a curling stone out there...- Oh, yes.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52..that doesn't have a handle on it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- You have another handle, have you? - Unfortunately not.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57You haven't got anything else like that? That's peculiarly Scottish?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02- I've got a tiny one that you might be interested in.- Can I have a look?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Blimey, that is a tiny one.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05And there we are.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- And is that...- An exact copy.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Miniature.- These are from Ailsa Craig, aren't they?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Indeed, yes.- Is it a granite?
0:31:13 > 0:31:14It is a granite, yes.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18From the mid-19th century, the island of Ailsa Craig
0:31:18 > 0:31:21in the Firth of Clyde has been quarried for granite.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26It's one of only two sources for the production of curling stones.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28And what's your ticket price on that?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- 65.- Oooh-hoo!
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- What's the best you can do on it? - 50.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35That's just way too much money for me.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38And how much is this stone without the candle in it?
0:31:38 > 0:31:4175, but I could perhaps do you a package for the two.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Honestly, I think 50 is my limit. - Mm-hm.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- If you could do that, I'll have them.- OK.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- OK.- You're a gentleman, thank you very much indeed.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55A little-and-large set of curling stones for a generous deal of £50.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Phil might have finished shopping,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01but Anita's on the prowl to spend her cash.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05She's got just under £200 in her purse and she looks determined.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11In Victorian times, Staffordshire figures, or "flatbacks" as they're
0:32:11 > 0:32:17called, would grace the mantelpiece of every Victorian kitchen.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Flatback figures are so-called because they're
0:32:20 > 0:32:24generally flat on the back and are undecorated there.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27There were often placed against a wall or chimneybreast
0:32:27 > 0:32:30in a Victorian house to add some interest.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Now, Staffordshire figures would often command
0:32:35 > 0:32:40high prices in the saleroom. But they have gone out of fashion.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That one's possible.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48What's Anita got her eye on now?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50She loves a trade.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54So, the girls want their boyfriends out of their T-shirts,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56out of the sloppy joes
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and into a nice, crisp white shirt
0:32:59 > 0:33:03with a lovely pair of stylish cuff links.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07So cuff links are doing well and I quite fancy these.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Time to talk money.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13The combined ticket price for the two items is £52.99.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I've found two things really that I like.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22What I would like to pay for the two is probably...
0:33:25 > 0:33:29..in the region of 25-30.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- 32.- £32 for the two?
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Let's go for that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Thank you very, very much.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Yeah, nice work, Anita.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43£27 for the Staffordshire flatback and £5 for the dapper cuff links.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47That completes this late shopping trip.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51And Anita has a total of five items as well as the last two she's
0:33:51 > 0:33:55just picked up. There's the 1950s standard-lamp and cabinet,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59the milking stool, and the little doll's house three-piece suite.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04Anita was canny with her cash - she spent £101.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Phil had a tidy budget to play with and also bought five items -
0:34:09 > 0:34:14his Masonic lot, the wooden trunk, the 19th-century seal press,
0:34:14 > 0:34:19the set of ladders and the little-and-large curling stones.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Phil spent a total of £175.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Now for the juicy bit. Ha!
0:34:26 > 0:34:28What do they think of each other's items?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30I love the company seal!
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I think it's fabulous.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's a giant!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Got to make a profit on that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38The two bits that I really love are
0:34:38 > 0:34:40the Uncle Tom Cobley Widecombe Fair stool
0:34:40 > 0:34:42and that really little three-piece suite.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I think that's really cute.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48The shopkeeper's ladder is a smashing item - it won't fly,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52but it's a good solid profit for him once again.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Game on, eh?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Yeah.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Anita and Phil are crossing the border once more
0:34:57 > 0:35:00to auction in the city of Carlisle in Cumbria.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07I think a wee bit of sartorial might be the thing for you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11I'd like to see a nice white shirt, pair of cuff links,
0:35:11 > 0:35:15your hair combed, your face shaved...
0:35:15 > 0:35:18I'm clean-shaven, this is like a baby's bottom!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20SHE LAUGHS
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Yeah, give the fellow a chance, Anita.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Let's hope lovely Carlisle will give them lots and lots of profits.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32H&H Auctions is their penultimate battleground.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Stand by.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Don't drive straight in! Stop!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38ANITA LAUGHS
0:35:38 > 0:35:39What a carry-on, eh?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Dear me! I feel like I've been welded into that thing.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48- Well...- Penultimate auction!- Yeah, I've got a lot to make up, Phil.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Can you do it?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Fingers crossed.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53The best of luck to you both.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Our auctioneer today is Stephen Farthing.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00What does he think of Anita and Phil's lots?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06If you've seen the joke with the Two Ronnies, the four candles joke,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08it's identical to the sort of ladder
0:36:08 > 0:36:10that you would see in that old DIY shop
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and I'm sure a lot of people will recognise that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14It'll probably go for the £50-£60 mark.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Continental silver cuff links, um, yeah. They're very plain,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20very simple and very stylish.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22So, again, I'm hoping that they might do well.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Make yourself comfortable, the auction is about to begin.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28HAMMER BANGS
0:36:28 > 0:36:30First up are Anita's stylish cuff links.
0:36:30 > 0:36:325, 8, 10 on the books.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3410 bid, at 10 I'm bid, 10 for the pair.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- 12 at the back.- Yes! - Right at the back, £12 bid.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41At £12, at £12 bid, right at the back at £12.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42HAMMER BANGS
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Tidy little profit there, Anita. Great start.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46That's not bad.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- That was short and sharp.- Yeah.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Next are Phil's curling stones.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Straight in at £10 on the books.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5710 bid. At £10 I'm bid, 10 on the books, 12, 12 bid,
0:36:57 > 0:37:01at 15 bid, at 15, 18, 18, 20 bid,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04at 22, 25, 28, 30...
0:37:04 > 0:37:10- It's climbing. - ..30, at 32, 35, 38, 40.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- It's getting there, Phil. - 40 bid, at £40, at £40 in
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- All done at £40. - HAMMER BANGS
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Despite that series of bids, it's a loss, Phil.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Not too bad, though.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26I'm not going to count my chickens and my sheep and my "cooows"...
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Or your "dugs".
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Next, Anita's three-piece suite for a doll's house.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33A nice little lot there.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36There we are, we are straight in at 5, 8, 10 on the books,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40again, 10 bid, commission bid at 10, 12 at the back, 12 in, at £12,
0:37:40 > 0:37:45right at the back at 12. 14, new bidder. At £14, 16.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Come on!- 18, £18 on my right, £18 in.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50HAMMER BANGS
0:37:50 > 0:37:54It's a miniature-sized profit, but it all adds up.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I'd sort of kind of settle for that, really.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58- ANITA CHUCKLES - Yeah!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Back to Phil and his big wooden trunk.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Next!
0:38:03 > 0:38:04A bit of interest in this one.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Lot 62, so we start the bidding, four bids,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10we'll start the bidding at 20, 25-30 on the books.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1630 bid, at 35, 40, 45, I'm out at 45.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Lady's bid 50.- 50!
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- 55...- Thank you, Lord, thank you. - Front row, lady's bid. 65, then.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24All done. 65.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25HAMMER BANGS
0:38:25 > 0:38:28That's more like it, good on you, Phil.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Big, hulking furniture scores well with this audience.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Well done!- Never any doubt, never any doubt in my mind at all.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I knew that would do well.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Phil's currently in the lead, Anita.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Can your Staffordshire flatback show him who's boss?
0:38:43 > 0:38:50- Commission bids at 20, 25, 30, 35...- Yes!- Well done, you!
0:38:50 > 0:38:51- 38, 40.- Yes!
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- 42, 44.- Yes!- At 44, then, all done at 44. Commission paid.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58HAMMER BANGS
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Well done, Anita.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Well done, you.- I'm happy with that.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I have to say, it sort of deserved that, didn't it?- Yes. It did.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Can Phil take the lead once more with his lot of Masonic items?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13A bit of interest again.
0:39:13 > 0:39:195, 8, 10, 12, 15 on the book, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, I'm out.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25- All done at £26, then?- Ouch! - Another chance, 26...
0:39:25 > 0:39:26HAMMER BANGS
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Cor! Someone's got a good buy there.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- It didn't double its money then. - I really thought it would.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36That was a nasty thing to say!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Next, Anita's milking stool.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41We'll start the bidding at 2, 5, 8 bid, £8 bid.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4410, I'm bid 10. at £10.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46In the room at £10, in the room and £10, 12 at the back, £12.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Aw, come on!
0:39:49 > 0:39:5214, 16, 18.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- All done at £18 in. - HAMMER BANGS
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Another tiny profit, but you're still in the lead, Anita.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59That's all right.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Well, it is, but it isn't, really,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04because I thought that was worth a lot more than that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05I know, I know.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Can Phil's shop-style ladders help him bulk up his profits?
0:40:10 > 0:40:11A bit of interest again.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- We'll start the bidding at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 bid.- Yes!
0:40:16 > 0:40:1970. At 70 bid, at 70 bid.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- I must admit, that's huge....- Yes!
0:40:21 > 0:40:2699, 100, 110, 120, 130, 130 bid,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- lady's bid at 130. - I'm pleased with that.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Lady's bid at £130, then. - HAMMER BANGS
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Amazing result, Phil.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39That huge profit has catapulted you into the lead.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41That's probably the stairway to success, isn't it, really?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43ANITA CHUCKLES
0:40:43 > 0:40:45It's taking a step up, isn't it?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Oh! Enough of these terrible puns.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Now, Anita's 1950s standard-lamp and cabinet combo.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57We're straight in at 20, 30, 40, 50 on the books.
0:40:57 > 0:41:0050 bid, at £50. 55, I'm outbid 55.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I've 60, and 5, 70.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Lovely young blonde lady.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0875, right in the corner at 75, then, at £75.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11In the corner at 75, then... All done.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12HAMMER BANGS
0:41:12 > 0:41:16The 1950s look is definitely in vogue with the Carlisle bidders.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20For something that does resemble a three-humped camel...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I think you've done very well. No, it's a cool thing.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25No, it is. It's all a matter of taste, isn't it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:26It certainly is, Anita.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Now their last item of the day, Phil's company seal press.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37We're straight in at 20, 25, 30 on the books.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38I'll take two, if it helps.
0:41:38 > 0:41:4032, 35...
0:41:41 > 0:41:45..38. I'm out at £38, it's in the room at £38.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- All done at 38? - HAMMER BANGS
0:41:47 > 0:41:48That's a good result, Phil.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Looks like the bidders like your style.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Well done!- I am quite pleased...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Let's get the sums done over a cup of tea.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Indeed we will, Anita.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Who will be the jubilant winner of this crucial leg?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Anita started out £258.30.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12After auction costs, she made a profit of £35.94,
0:42:12 > 0:42:18giving her a total of £294.24 for the final leg of the trip.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Phil started off with £399.40 and takes the crown today.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32After auction costs, he made a profit of £70.18,
0:42:32 > 0:42:37giving him a handsome sum of £469.58 to carry forward.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Well, I tell you what, I think you're still driving.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Oh, for sure. Chauffeur! - SHE LAUGHS
0:42:47 > 0:42:51So I think you pulled ahead even more in this auction.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Be my driver. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:42:54 > 0:42:57I thought you didn't like Anita's driving, Phil?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Bye-bye, you two!
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Next time, a thrilling final leg of the Road Trip.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- Have you got any stockings on? - None of your business.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Anita weighs in with some big antiques...
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Well, this certainly isn't a "wee brooch".
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- ..and Philip's found his soul mate. - My hero, look! Hello, Spocky!
